The next generation of QR codes are designed to scan more easily, cutting down checkout frustrations.<\/p>\n
Camilla Young, who leads the next-generation barcode programme at GS1 UK, said the technology could bring huge benefits for providing extra information about food.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThe potential for consumers is huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Around 51 per cent of shoppers have accidentally bought out-of-date food at some point, costing UK households an estimated \u00a311.8billion a year. <\/p>\n
The new barcodes could help wipe out that risk by triggering alerts warning customers when products are close to their expiry date.<\/p>\n
In the future, the codes could even help households track what\u2019s inside their fridge \u2014 flagging when food is running low, suggesting recipes and warning when items are about to go off, according to experts. <\/p>\n
